Interesting Joe, let us know how it works for you. Pictures of
installation a definite plus.

Hey Fellers, You might recall me talking about a head shakin' problem that I noticed with Ol' Junkyard that was exasperated by the recently installed Barn Door (windshield). Been looking at Ebay for a decent deal on a hydraulic steering damper - no such luck to date. I had no idea what a premium these doo dads demand! Last Sunday I was on a ride with my Norton Buds, and two of them had recently installed nice adjustable hydraulic steering dampers. They had sourced them from a place in Florida called Mikes XS [www(.)mikesxs(.)net], a place that caters to those who own Yamaha XS 650s from the 70s/80s. My pals really like their units & the price was right ($48 delivered!). I'll have to make a frame bracket but that should pose no problem. I ordered one yesterday & received an invoice stating it will ship today - painless! I have no financial interest in this place nor do I own a Yamaha, but it seemed like a super deal to me & wanted to pass it on to my Looper Buds. Joe in St Louis 850T-Powered Ambo "Junkyard" |
